Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Medicinal and aromatic plants are beneficial to human health. Plant-derived molecules possess biological activities that can be used to prevent many infectious diseases and metabolic disorders. Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants summarizes techniques and methods used to study the biological activities of plant-derived extracts and compounds to study ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological features of medicinal and aromatic plants. This book: Includes computational approaches to study the pharmacological properties of biomolecules in medicinal and aromatic plants. Details methods in ethnopharmacology including chromatographical and analytical techniques. Demons...
African Fermented Food Products- New Trends
Fermented foods play a major role in human nutrition and health, given the addition of flavor, improvement of texture, preservation against spoilage, and ease of digestion due to the fermentation process. This book provides information about the chemistry and bioactive compounds of African fermented food products, including their nutritional value and minor constituents. Chapters cover a wide range of topics, from the microorganisms involved in spontaneous fermentation to food safety considerations and quality assessment. The text can be used as a practical manual to better understand the nutritional and medicinal uses of various African fermented foods, as well as prepare recipes and product labels.
Aquatic Macrophytes: Ecology, Functions and Services
This book is a comprehensive collection of information about the features, functions, and services of aquatic macrophytes. As primary producers, aquatic macrophytes form the basis of food webs, play a major role in highly productive aquatic ecosystems, and have a significant impact on ecosystem functions and services. Macrophytes are also known to strongly influence the micro-climate and biogeochemical processes occurring in the littoral zones of marine ecosystems and the sediment dynamics of freshwater systems. They also serve as highly effective carbon sinks and play an important role in carbon sequestration. This book deals with various aspects of aquatic macrophytes, including nutrient r...
Harsh Environment and Plant Resilience
In the recent past, threats from climate change and unforeseeable environmental extremes to plant growth and productivity have consistently increased. The climate change-driven effects, especially from unpredictable environmental fluctuations, can result in an increased prevalence of abiotic and biotic stresses in plants. These stresses have slowed down the global yields of crop plants. On the other hand, food security for the rapidly growing human population in a sustainable ecosystem is a major concern of the present-day world. Thus, understanding the core developmental, physiological and molecular aspects that regulate plant growth and productivity in a challenging environment is a pivota...
Sustainable Food Fortification
This book addresses the pressing global challenge of malnutrition, particularly the nutritional deficit impacting longevity. It delves into the limitations of traditional methods, such as supplements and crop fortification, which often struggle with affordability and sustainability. By focusing on biobased strategies, the book highlights innovative biofortification techniques that enhance the nutritional value of functional foods using advanced technologies. Each chapter explores diverse ecological sources—ranging from aquatic and microbial to plant-based—that contribute to nutrient bioavailability. Additionally, the economic aspects of nutrient improvement across various food sources are thoroughly examined. The book’s unique holistic approach spans the entire food chain, from crop production to consumption, while emphasizing the role of technological advancements in boosting nutrient bioavailability. This resource serves as a valuable guide for food science researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders, equipping them with insights to accelerate the implementation of effective biofortification programs.
